My wife and I went to see 1917 today and neither of us was impressed. In fact we both found it to be rather slow and boring. As for the equipment, it looked good to me but I only know what's correct for rifles, bayonets and canteens. Helmets somewhat but they could have easily been WWII helmets. The Germans were made out to be the typical ultimate evil that kills for no reason, etc. The plot was full of holes as was the mission they were sent on. Seems exceedingly unlikely two men are going to be sent cross country on foot for 9 miles to send a message of such importance and no other means of communication is available, even for WWI technology. That they were overtaken by a convoy of trucks in the middle of this 9 miles seems to lend credence to this, not to mention the airplanes flying about.
